Happy 8-Week Birthday, Vinson!

Vinson is eight weeks old today. How are we celebrating? Well, it started with a little poop on the living room floor! After clean-up, we played outside in the mild weather. Later, we're heading off to meet some family for Easter celebrations, so Vinson has a big day in store.

Eight weeks is also the age when we begin Vinson's heartworm and flea and tick medications. We gave him his first heartworm chewable this morning and will wait a day or so before giving him the first dose of flea and tick treatment. By not starting the two medications on the same day, it makes it easier to figure out which treatment is causing a problem should he experience any type of reaction.
